1 Answer

Answer :

a) Time to market :

Time to market is the time from development of an embedded system to sell it to customers is called time to market.
For more profit, the time to market should be less for embedded systems.
A delay in product development cause large revenue loss.
The figure shows the losses due to delayed entry.

b) Performance :

Latency and throughput are the two main measures of performance.
